M.Sc International Accounting and Analytics—Pathway A

Course Overview

 

Our program responds to the recent 22nd Annual Global CEO Survey compiled by PwC  which notes that ‘A lack of analytical talent is impeding data adequacy.’  The ICAS and FRC report on Auditor Skills in a Changing Business World (in 2016) also notes the importance of analytics skills for accountants and calls for educators to include practical courses on data interrogation and analytics. Our MSc in International Accounting and Analytics is the first program of its kind in UK and Irish Universities to offer practical hands-on modules in SAP and audit analytics tools for accountants.
